Hm. About two thirds SFF, I guess.

Daily.

The newspaper, yes, and most days I'll do at least some reading in books.

Depends on the book and on the person. I know some RL folks who are sort of into SFF, but rarely to the same extent I am... but for other books, sure.


Only very rarely. I do it with WoT because I've done it for the past few books, and because I want to have read it asap so I can discuss it. Also did it with the last two Harry Potters, and will probably do it with Martin. Otherwise, no, though Erikson I tend to buy as soon as the paperback's out.

Hm. Any review that gives the reader an accurate impression of what the book is like and whether he might like it or not is a good one, really, but that can be done in different ways, depending on the reviewer and on the book. I guess the most important factor is pointing out what's special about the reviewed book and why people would want to read it - or if it's not to everyone's taste, who'd like to read it and who wouldn't.
